The sultry Punjabi kudi Charmme has just had a Shakuntala moment. Yesterday, Charmme lost her prized possession, her diamond ring, along with her shopping bag full of new clothes at a shopping mall. While more details are not available about the incident, Charmme herself revealed the bad news.

Last night, Charmme took to her Twitter page and tweeted, “A good news for all the haters out dere My Whole day shopped bag ,hv been lost , along vit my diamond ring Yes !! It cannot b Sunny each day”. Well, we definitely wonder what she meant by haters though.

Looks like Charmme is going through some bad times both professionally and personally. The actress, after burning her hands with her debut home production, is reportedly planning yet another film in her banner and is even going solo this time. Let’s wish that the bubbly beauty will get back her missing mojo soon.

If the buzz emerging from Filmnagar is to be believed, Bangalore Days fame Parvathy Menon is chosen as the lead girl beside Powerstar Pawan Kalyan in his next in the direction of SJ Suryah. If this rumour turns out to be true, it will mark the lady’s Telugu debut.

She is already seen in a dubbing film, Maariyan. The film will go on floors in June. The makers confirmed that it is a love story of a factionist. Husharu is the title in rumours for this new project. And then there are rumours that the movie is also loosely based on Ajith’s Tamil blockbuster film, Veeram. Powerstar was seen in a white Lungi and with grey hair at the launch event.

It was very similar to Ajith’s in Veeram. S.J Suryah along with writer Akula Siva have been working on the story since the last 4 months, constantly discussing and sharing the progress with Pawan Kalyan.

Anup Rubens who is composing the music working closely with the Director has already composed two songs. The Director of Photography is Soundar Rajan who has earlier done Billa and recently Bengal Tiger.

Tamil Hero Karthi will be seen in a film directed by Maverick director, Mani Ratnam in his next. Aditi Rao Hydari will be seen as the female lead. A majority of the film’s shooting will happen in Kashmir and Karthi will be seen as a pilot in the film. The actor has joined a 3-week crash pilot training course in Chennai and he is learning to fly aircrafts.

The actor wants to get in to the skin of the character and so is keen on learning all the minutest nuances of being a pilot. The movie will go on floors later this summer. The movie shooting will go non-stop till completion and the makers are targeting end of the year release for the movie.

Ravi Varman of Barfi and Badrinath fame will crank the camera and AR Rahman will score the tunes as in the case of most Mani Ratnam film. Karthi is fresh from the super success of his recent releases – Oopiri/Thozha. Both the versions of the film put together amassed 50 Crore Share in their run so far.

The heroine for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Prestigious 100th film, Gautamiputra Satakarani is not yet confirmed. The makers have consulted Nayantara. She is interested in the film but can not afford dates till September and at the same time, the makers could not wait for such long for her and so the option is dropped.

The regular shooting of the film will begin from May 9th in Morocco. The makers say the heroine is not needed till the third schedule of the film and so they have more time to find the girl. On the other side, the makers of the Prestigious film are leaving no stone unturned to make the film as grand as possible.

Gautamiputra Satakarani started its business even before the shooting started. The Overseas rights of the film were picked up for a whopping 3 Crore. This is the highest price for any Balakrishna film until now. Absolute Cinemas which recently distributed Kanche and Kalyana Vaibhogame in Overseas bagged the film rights.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s landmark film Gautamiputra Satakarni is getting bigger day by day. The latest is that single episode of this historic epic is going to cost a whopping Rs 8 Crore, say sources in the know. It’s going to be a high-budget visual extravaganza. Director Krish has planned a huge battle episode and this one episode alone going to cost the bomb. Four teams have been exclusively roped in to work on the CGs for the battle episodes in the film.

In the mean-time, all the film’s lead technicians have reached Morocco where the film’s shoot is going to begin and preparations are in full swing. Producer Rajeev is in Morocco overseeing the things. Balakrishna will soon fly to Morocco to join the shoot. The film’s shooting will begin on May 7.

Four tonnes of material including weapons, war outfits have already been shipped to Morocco from Hyderabad. And 800 local junior artistes would be part of the battle sequences in Balayya’s 100th film. Music by Devi Sri Prasad, the movie is all set for grand release on Jan 12, 2017.

Director Boyapati Sreenu is the latest to join Rs 50 Crore club. With his recent offing Allu Arjun-starrer Sarainodu, Boyapati achieved this feat and thus joined the elite club. With this, Boyapati joined the bandwagon of directors Rajamouli, Trivikram Srinivas, Sukumar, Sreenu Vaitla and Surender Reddy. After Race Gurram, Son of Satyamurthy and Rudhramadevi, Allu Arjun entered into Rs 50 Crore club for the 4th time.

Despite mixed reviews from critics, Sarainodu has got good collections at BO. In its first-week, the film has grossed Rs 46.4 Crore share and by Saturday the action entertainer managed to touch Rs 50 Crore mark.This is not all. The film achieved a rare feat and is said to be the third highest opener in Telugu industry. Sarainodu happens to be the top 3rd highest opener in Telugu films till date standing next only to Baahubali and Srimanthudu. With this, Bunny proved his mass stamina.

In the mean-time, Rs 50 Crore club has been eluding Boyapati from some-time. His previous blockbusters Legend and Simha couldn’t make it. Though Legend was close, but it missed to touch Rs 50 Crore mark in close shave. With Sarainodu, Boyapati joined the elite club.

Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has seen many highs and lows in his over four decade career, says the love and admiration from his fans keeps him going in showbiz and helps “deflect every arrowed poison”.The 73-year-old took to his official blog to express his gratitude, saying that the love showered on him cannot be defined.He posted: “The love of the people of this country and of those that be from other shores cannot be defined by any definition … their affection and their love … their continued allegiance … their valued support … their faith and their trust … is beyond description, irrespective … this is value for me, and the thrust and motivation for movement.”

The “Paa” star added: “Movement to absorb all else … to deflect every arrowed poison … to take strength each hour and minute of their true spirit … and of the knowing that the integrity of my love shall never be polluted.”From being Bollywood’s ‘Angry young man’ to becoming its ‘Shahenshah’, Amitabh has rendered several critically acclaimed performances in films like “Deewar”, “Agneepath”, “Sholay”, “Don” and “Black”.

The actor, who is busy with “Pink” and “TE3N”, also added: “This is not an ordinary manufactured love … it is an affection that crosses all boundaries and walls … this is their reach, their outstretched hand of affection – coloured in multi shaded hues … their dextrous labour in the wait for the hours in light and sun .. and for that one short but intense moment of an appearance and a wave.”

Amitabh asserted that he “shall never have enough words to explain this or even decide to put across some legitimacy to it … but they know as do I the sincerity of the occasion … Thank you all.”

Filmmaker Vikram Kumar, known for films such as “13 B” and “Manam”, says his forthcoming Tamil time-travel thriller “24”, which releases in cinemas on Friday, was destined to be made with Suriya.Although the film was initially pitched to a few heroes, it eventually went to Suriya.”Every story has its own destiny. It will only get made when the time is right and no matter how hard you try, problems will crop up. In the case of ’24’, I had the story with me for nearly six years and I’m glad it was finally made with Suriya, who was destined to star in it,” Vikram told IANS.

He admits he couldn’t have made this film with anyone else.”When I see ’24’ now, I know for a fact I couldn’t have made this film with any other actor. Had it materialized with another actor, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as good as it is now. Call it god’s grace, but I’m happy I got to work with Suriya,” he said.Although several time-travel related films have been made around the globe, Vikram assures there’s one element that makes his film unique.

“I’ve always wanted to do a sci-fi film and time-travel was one of the most exciting topics I wanted to work on. However, I asked myself how ’24’ will be different from other sci-fi films that have come over the years. As the story started taking shape, I came up with one element that will be unique and original which audiences will get to see in the film,” he said.Talking about the inspiration behind the idea to do a time-travel based story, Vikram said it stemmed from human being’s association with time.

“As humans, we’re all time travelers. God gave us power to do so many things but didn’t allow us to control time. Anyone with regrets must’ve thought about going back in time and revoking some crucial decisions,” he said, adding “24” won’t be difficult to understand.”Even a 6-year old will understand my film. We’ve simplified everything but without losing intelligence. It’s important everybody should comprehend your story and we’ve ensured that in ’24’. The film will test the audience,a he said.

Vikram says “24” could’ve been a very stressful film without Suriya.”To take up this project as a producer is itself a herculean task, but Suriya also played triple roles. No matter how much I talk about Suriya’s contribution, it won’t be enough,” he said, and added in one of the roles, Suriya will be seen as a watch mechanic.

“There was a real watch mechanic on the sets. Suriya would sit next to him and learn simple things like how to hold a watch and use a tool. He also met people who are bound to wheelchair, and learnt everything about being a paraplegic for the other role,” Vikram said.”24″ is the story of its antagonist Aathreya, which is also played by Suriya.”Aathreya requires someone to be evil and wicked.

Suriya’s transformation into this role is amazing. When I went to narrate the story, I didn’t tell Suriya he’d be playing the antagonist. When I narrated Aathreya’s part, I saw his face light up in excitement,” he said.”A lot of stars are cautious about choosing roles that are against their image. With Suriya, however, he has built his image around the variety of roles he’s portrayed so far. He will make audiences fall in love with Aathreya,” he added.
